'Biggest Challenge'

“I can tell you that this was one of the most challenging and difficult things we had to go through as a family and for me personally. I've been through a lot in the past, but being tested positive for Covid-19 is quite different from nasty injuries, being evicted or being broke, and that has happened to me a number of times."

Tested Positive for COVID-19

Johnson detailed that his wife Lauren and daughters, aged four and two, all tested positive. The children had milder symptoms, mainly a sore throat for a few days. “It was different for Lauren and me. We had a hard time, but we got through it.”

Video Message

In the video, he urges everyone to wear a mask and be selective about seeing friends and family.
